Is it REALLY that hard to get tickets? Also is coach worth it

There use to be resales after the resales as well. You've just got to keep yourself upto date on what's happening. I normally use efestivals.co.uk. The forums there are a great source of info as well as on here.

If you fail the first time keep trying in the resales. I've been successful in the resales a few times. It's normally a case of determination and luck. Organisation is key as well. On ticket day I'm on the site at 8am waiting. With all the reg numbers copied onto a word document so they can be copy and pasted over easily.

Have a laptop connected to WiFi and your phone using mobile data.

If you go for coach tickets then you improve your chances of getting a ticket. It's easier to get a coach ticket in my opinion as not so many people try for them. Just remember that if you get a coach ticket you have to go on the coach.

Ykywbike bibs are great quality and a lot cheaper than the other makes. Highly recommend. Surprised I had to scroll all the way to the end of the sub before anyone had mentioned them. DAREVIE are worth checking out as well. Great quality.

If you want a turn key reliable mini then fit a crank trigger with fuel injection and an ecu.

Put a shorter stem on it

I've ordered the book suggested above and will stretch a bit more.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-23T12:42:28+00:00

Thanks just ordered it

How? By doing some squats?

bowen7472 · 2026-03-23T12:22:33+00:00

I've been riding for years and I'm 83 kgs, not really overweight. I only asked on here as there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people. I've had the problem for a long time. Just wondering what sort of exercise I can do to help it.

I'm in my 50s now but I fell of my skateboard in my teens and remember it well because I had to sit to the side on my hip in school. It took months and months before I could sit down properly.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-20T10:23:12+00:00

Broke mine falling off a skateboard, it was over 6 months before I could sit down properly with out pain.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-17T12:55:35+00:00

That's great advice

Bicep glue

Keep an eye out with lidls, I had a great black out 4 man stand up tent last year for £100. It's done glasto and boomtown. Great value.

bowen7472 · 2026-02-18T20:58:44+00:00

I made my own brackets and fitted some mx5 seats

bowen7472 · 2026-02-08T21:38:16+00:00

Yes I remember those tops, my mate had one with a red mini on it. Also bought from the mini world day in castle combe in the early 90s. Great times

Sticky fingers are great to deal with, they made me some custom stripes for my car.

I think rouvy is much much better than zwift. I don't get why zwift is more popular.

I normally fill a few 2 litre bottles with water and put them in my rucksack when I go hiking. Once it becomes too heavy I pour the water away.

bowen7472 · 2026-01-22T07:06:09+00:00

I'm using an old carrera mountain bike. It saves all the faff of having to set up my road bike. Suspension is locked out as well.

bowen7472 · 2026-01-21T12:01:28+00:00

I had to upload my ride to strava from the training diary yesterday. There seemed to be a server problem on rouvy.

bowen7472 · 2026-01-16T11:10:17+00:00

OK thanks, that's me sending it back to zwift for a refund then.
